Abstract
Relations between competition law and public procurement are multi-dimensional – competition law infringements acting as a basis for exclusion from public procurement are one of the key issues here. A tendency is visible alongside legislative and jurisprudential developments in EU law concerning public procurement, to broaden the scope for the exclusion of antitrust infringers from public procurement. In some case, exclusion from public procurement may prove a more severe penalty for economic operators than administrative fines levied by the President of UOKiK or the European Commission. However, such exclusion raises many questions including: what is the scope of the substantial infringements which might lead to exclusion or who and when is able to decide on the matter. Keeping in mind that Directive 2014/24 regarding public procurement must be implemented by 18 April 2016, it is fair to say that this is a very important issue at the moment. Hence, it is essential to fully understand EU directives and jurisprudence regarding that matter as presented in the paper.
